Medication consolidation plays a vital role in improving safety, efficiency, and quality of care in senior living communities. Older adults frequently manage complex medication regimens, placing them at increased risk for adverse drug events, medication errors, and reduced adherence. This webinar will provide attendees with a practical approach for understanding and supporting effective medication consolidation within their community.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define the purpose and benefits of medication consolidation in senior living communities.
2. Recognize common medication-related risks in senior living communities; highlighting polypharmacy, drug interactions, therapy adherence and high-risk medications.
3. Evaluate risks associated with polypharmacy and identify strategies to minimize adverse drug events, duplicate therapies and unnecessary medications in older adults.
4. Discuss effective ways to work with the consultant pharmacist and pharmacy to create best practices for safe and effective medication consolidation.
